Chapter 1644: Sleeping Together

"Ugh!"

Ye Liuyun endured the inhuman pain, trying not to cry out so as not to worry Man Shu.

Man Shu also felt great compassion, her tears swirling in her eyes.

But it had already begun, and she couldn't stop, otherwise Ye Liuyun would suffer in vain.

The crackling grew louder, and after Ye Liuyun's flesh expanded and contracted with heat, it began to peel away, shards of ice falling off, exposing the blood and flesh beneath.

Man Shu, using Divine Sense, carefully froze every burned spot on Ye Liuyun's body.

Now only the final step remained. Some of the frozen areas didn't shed automatically; the ice shards still needed to be knocked off.

In Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness at this moment, the Ten Thousand Gods Command continuously emitted radiance, keeping him awake.

He truly wished he could faint from the pain right now. The suffering was simply unbearable.

If he could pass out and sleep, he would suffer less.

But the Ten Thousand Gods Command seemed unable to discern this, stubbornly keeping him conscious; he could only grit his teeth and endure with tears. Each time he was about to faint, the Ten Thousand Gods Command revived him.

"Hold on a little longer!" Man Shu's tears were already streaming down.

Yet she kept hammering the ice shards on Ye Liuyun, eager to finish the task quickly.

Ye Liuyun clenched his teeth, unable to speak, merely keeping his eyes closed and his body upright.

When all the ice shards were knocked off, Ye Liuyun resembled a bloodied figure, his flesh fully exposed.

But his recovery was swift; the flesh writhed and regenerated, looking terrifying.

Man Shu couldn't bear to watch any longer; using True Essence, she suspended Ye Liuyun in the air, allowing him to heal on his own.

"He must be incredibly strong, not even fainting!" Man Shu admired Ye Liuyun in her heart.

Compared with Ye Liuyun, the abuse she suffered from the Foreign Tribe didn't seem so tragic.

On Ye Liuyun's side, the pain lessened, and gradually new skin began to grow on some areas. The Ten Thousand Gods Command no longer needed to emit radiance to awaken him.

Ye Liuyun was also exhausted to the bone, too lazy to move, so he simply lay down and fell asleep.

After a while, Man Shu suddenly noticed Ye Liuyun's breathing steadied; looking up, she couldn't help but blush deeply.

Ye Liuyun's skin had fully recovered, his body entirely displayed before Man Shu.

He, at this moment, was utterly exhausted and truly fell into a deep sleep.

Man Shu waved her hand, gently placing Ye Liuyun onto the bed in her room. She is the ruler of Xuecheng and can control any place at will.

After putting Ye Liuyun on the bed, she couldn't help glancing at him a few more times.

Suddenly, she had an idea; this was a perfect opportunity. She thought a man like Ye Liuyun was rare in the world.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun already had many wives, so she wouldn't be lacking. As Wu Qingcheng said, if she doesn't take the initiative, Ye Liuyun will never act on his own.

Thinking of this, she made a sudden decision. With a wave of her hand, a mass of Ice Power's source appeared in her palm.

The Snow Tribe needs the Ice Power source within Ye Liuyun to propagate offspring. This wasn't difficult; she could give Ye Liuyun a generous gift.

She first stripped off her clothes, drawing the Ice Power source into her lower abdomen. Then she gently crawled to Ye Liuyun's side and embraced him…

Afterwards, holding Ye Liuyun's body, she was reluctant to leave yet worried that when he woke he would deem her shameless.

Thus she felt torn. Even if Ye Liuyun woke and rejected her, she wouldn't blame him; it was all her one‑sided wish.

She only feared Ye Liuyun would drive her away.

In fact, Ye Liuyun knew everything. With such a high realm, how could he not know what happened? He was just asleep earlier, and by the time he became aware, it was already too late.

Man Shu lay directly in his arms; how could he push her away? Doing so would hurt Man Shu's feelings and make both extremely awkward thereafter, preventing them from meeting again.

So he simply closed his eyes, accepting it all.

Afterwards, truly exhausted, he immediately fell asleep while holding Man Shu.

When he woke, he found Man Shu already up, preparing food for him.

"Eat something before you go. Nothing's happening outside now; everyone is resting! You've slept all day!"

Man Shu, fearing he'd worry about the outside situation, told him in advance.

In truth, she had been worried Ye Liuyun would get angry with her, calling her shameless.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun simply put on his clothes and quietly sat down to eat.

"Won't you eat together?" Ye Liuyun asked, feeling a bit awkward as Man Shu stood unmoving.

"You… will you blame me?" Man Shu asked tentatively.

"I knew about yesterday's incident then. Don't overthink it. You're my woman now; sit down and eat together!" Ye Liuyun said directly.

"Oh!"

Man Shu lowered her head, blushing deeply as she sat, but inside she was overjoyed. She hadn't expected Ye Liuyun not only not scold her but also acknowledged her as his woman!

While eating, Ye Liuyun asked, "The source of Ice Power in my body—did you give it to me?"

He had felt that Ice source power then, but thought it harmless to his body and hadn't had time to mention it.

"The Snow Tribe must have Ice Power in both partners to reproduce. So I gave you a bit. Having a little extra power won't hurt you!" Man Shu hurriedly explained.

Ye Liuyun looked at Man Shu. Man Shu immediately lowered her head again.

"I know it won't harm me. But you didn't do this just for reproduction, did you?" Ye Liuyun asked directly.

If that's true, he wouldn't dare keep Man Shu nearby.

"No! I truly like you… Of course there's also that reason; otherwise I wouldn't have taken the initiative..." Man Shu's voice was softer than a mosquito's, fading away at the end.

"Oh!" Ye Liuyun heard this and relaxed.

In fact, he didn't resent Man Shu. As long as she had no other motives, he could accept her.

Man Shu, thinking Ye Liuyun didn't believe her, said anxiously, "Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, I can let you Soul Search!"

Ye Liuyun solemnly told her, "I believe you. I would never use my Soul Searching Technique on my own woman, even though my Soul Searching Technique is harmless to people! We're now family, so don't speak so distantly in the future!"

"Got it!" Man Shu immediately agreed.

Although Ye Liuyun's words were spoken more seriously, as if he were warning her.

But Man Shu also sensed that Ye Liuyun didn't distrust her; he treated her as one of his own. So she felt happy, accompanying Ye Liuyun as they kept eating, and without realizing it, she ate more than he did.
